“I want to always have people better than them in a way, so that they feel like they want to be there and they want to keep on working”
— Rember Orellana
In this excellent interview Jake and Rember will be touching on art and tattoo design for the first half of the interview; how to approach color and texture, thoughts on realism, and introducing more of the value scale. In the second half they go over more of the business side of things: Running a tattoo studio, shop ethics, apprentice morale, and helping your artists feel like they’re part of the shop instead of just working there.
No matter where you are in your tattooing career the Fireside Tattoo Network provides resources and information that have helped hundreds of tattoo artists.
